I know this is about the 100th time I've talked bout this kinda stuff....but....
I'm gonna have to start an exercise program of some sort pretty soon. I have pretty much stopped losing any weight without it. I have cut the carbs aback and cut the sugar out completely have lost a fair amount of weight but have totally stalled out.
I think the hardest part about doing this is actually finding and keeping the motivation and not the actual exercise itself. At least that has been the problem in the past. But yanno, when I was working out in preparation for the Army, once I started doing it regularly, it wasn't a big deal anymore. But for some reason when you stop it's very very difficult to start back again. Why is that?
Geena and I have been watching The Biggest Loser, this season's folks were the fattest in show history and everybody that is left has lost 100 or more pounds in the 17 weeks they were on the ranch and have had about a month or so at home and in a couple of weeks will be back for their final weigh ins to see how they did at home and if they were able to continue or not. But wow, 100 pounds in 17 weeks, that just seems impossible. Of course these people are locked away on a weight loss ranch where all they did all day was work on diet and exercise and losing weight. So for everyday people that is just not realistic. But I wonder if it would be possible to lose half of that in that same time period....
I would really really really love to have lost 50lbs by the end of this summer. I want to move forward so badly, I would LOVE to get off my meds and my CPAP machine!!
I have already planned up a pretty good work out schedule, but how do I say on it? How??? How do you find the motivation and stay with it for the long haul? When I did it for the Army my goal was the Army. You would think that getting off my meds etc would be enough, but apparently it isn't. You wold think that 1/2 of my family having heart attacks would be enough, but apparently it isn't.
Focus, focus, focus......
